RN

Vote here (12/0/0) ending 00:12 October 12 (UTC)

RN (talk · contribs) – My great friend, Ryan Norton, has been here since March of 05. I welcomed him myself a few months back, and he has nearly 3000 edits. Outside of his wikilife he runs WikiServer, so I think he's familiar with Wiki as a whole. He has a good enough grasp on policy, and he's always friendly to users. He is active on several articles, and even has an FA. He also has 911 edits in the Wikipedia space. I really see no reason to oppose such a fine editor.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Thank you! This was most unexpected - I accept :). Well, and I'd like to point out that while my first edit was back in march, my edits have only really been active a little over two months :). I'd also like to thank a few people, including Everyking, Redwolf, and anyone else who I forgot for helping me be a better editor and teaching me admin skills :).

Questions for the candidate
A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
A. Well, I spend a good deal of time reverting vandalism and linkspam. Also, I'd like to help with the backlog, such as requested moves etc. I've learned a lot from other admins too about how to deal with things, and eventually I'd like to close out AfDs too as I'm rather active there (I know its bad form to close ones you've participated in too). Speedy delete would good too as in the past I've tagged some articles with it. I've also been active in tagging unsourced images. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 00:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
A. That's a tough one. I've did a lot of rewrites to a lot of articles. For example, Microsoft I completely rewrote many parts and filled in the gaps in the history, got rid of the unsubstantiated rumors etc.. I also worked on Ashlee Simpson and the autobiography album which both were failed FACs (the latter being quite close). I and a couple others rewrote Asperger's syndrome and saved it from a FARC also. Sometimes though its the simple things that are more fun - for example just the other day I rewrote Saturated fat due to POV issues. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 00:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A. Sure - I like working on contentious articles like George W. Bush etc. so you're bound to get stressed out every now and then :) - I just take a short wikibreak from the articles that are contentious when that happens. I'm not saying I'm perfect though, I'm sure I said something I regret... I also got blocked by User:Kim Bruning during the VfD-->AfD move in a rather unfortunate incident (An edit war where Kim was removing comments from the talk page that resembled "voting" of VfD and I put them back (not a 3RR violation, but most likely a 1RR one :)) - I think we worked out our differences quite well in the incident, and I'm hoping he comes back from his wikibreak soon). Also, just for the record I would not have "blocked back" in that incident :). All in all though, its been a pleasure working with the editors here and especially those at peer review and FAC who have given me invaluable help in becoming a better editor!
